After it is " set off " , how long will it sound an alarm....and will it then reset itself ???, will it still have enough power left to sound again ?,

The alarm goes off for about 20 seconds and resets itself. It has the power to reset itself, but leave it on for 24 hrs (three nights) and the batteries about dead.

I've never let it run on since it is so loud, although I believe it will keep sounding until it is manually turned off, like a smoke alarm. This is easily done using the remote which works at quite a good distance.

I have mine set up to trigger an external alarm ( with its own buzzer and power supply). It works, but only closes the circuit for the time that the beam is broken. Since I have it across a path, the time that the beam is broken is a fraction of a second, which is not enough time for my buzzer to get to full volume.

Happened to me at 1 am a few times! It is alarm. I don't have it handy or I could give more details. The instruction sheet should help you out though. Good luck :)

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

yes, it will always start with the sound it was on when turned off. I love mine, by the way- helps me sleep like nothing else!

The timer can be set for 1 minute and will beep at one minute, you would then depress the "start/stop" button once to stop the alarm, and then again to restart. It will continue to time off in one minute intervals; that is, you don't have to reset the minute each time, just depress the button twice - so that is easy/good. The downside is the buttons are proud and could be easily bumped so I believe you'd have to carry it in your hand.

Hi, It sounds like you had a power failure or lighting strike to the system. This happened to me and the alarm continued to sound-off. The only way to stop the alarm from ringing is to disconnect it from the main power source. Rotate the entire alarm counter-clockwise until it is unsecured from the base. There is a socket plug connector to the power source. Unplug. If this the only unit in the house that is sounding, it is defective and needs to be replaced.

See edit further down... I JUST looked through the menus when I got this question... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but under the "System Settings" menu, there's a menu called "Tool" that has a couple of settings that look like they might be used as timers ("Power Off," etc.). OK, edit... Had a chance to try it - only tried it with FM, but since it basically just totally powers down the whole unit, it should work for all functions. Using the above instructions, and using the "Power Off" menu, you can set the timer in 10-minute increments, up to 120 minutes. When done, it powers off the entire unit; to get it to turn back on, you must press and HOLD the right-most button. It was a little disconcerting when I tried to use the "Menu" button to turn it back on, and nothing happened... Once the timer has turned the unit off, the timer is reset to "0" -i.e., the timer is not active. Because of the way you set it, I was afraid it might stay set on a 10-minute turn-off until I went back in and zeroed it, but that's not the case. If you want the timer again, you have to reset it, each time. I also do not agree that it's not worth the very low price. I find the sound pretty good, the volume is good, etc. I'd like to know what some people thought they were going to get for such a low price... Then again, they may have simply received a bad unit... . .

When it plays music on the alarm function, is it music only, or the alarm sound as well? (I have one that simultaneously also beeps while it's on wake with music, I do not want one like that ever again.)

After recent power outage time and both alarms settings return to a proper times. Was it extended? I dont know. I wasn't at home.

It varies. My battery actually died 3 months in but eventually recharged and started working again. It's an on an off thing and right now, it's all off. It might be better to connect your alarm to the main battery.

Hi - If you set the timer to count down, after it counts down and goes off, it will count up, but no alarm at the end of a count up time if that is what you are looking for. BEWARE of one thing about this timer. If you set it for an amount of time and it goes off, a normal individual's (me?) expectation would be that when you hot the switch to turn it off, that's it and the alarm will not continue to sound. Well, that's wrong. This crazy product will continue to ring every (30 secs? 1 minute?) until you go stark raving mad and exile it to another room so you no longer have to hear it. BUT - there is a solution I only recently discovered on my own. After you hit the STOP button, hit the button on the upper left side of the screen to return to the Clock function and the alarm will not continue to sound. This may sound crazy but the alarm problem was so annoying I avoided using this timer for about 2 years until I stumbled over this solution. And in answer to your second question, you would have to set alarm times and have the alarm go off to do a count up, but the 3 channels are independent.

It is supposed to stop. For any reason the item is in slight motion, of course the alarm will continue to sound. Also, the battery can be going dead and will continue to go-off until completely dead. Check battery for voltage capacity. Otherwise item could be defective.

Correct, if the wired alarm is unplugged then it stops sounding BUT the wireless siren continues sounding. The main panel is wireless and has a 72h backup battery, if main panel gets unplugged from electricity then it works on battery, if panel is also turned off then alarm stops working, I recommend you hide main panel, mine is on a second floor ceiling so it's hard to reach. Even if the alarm gets unplugged or destroyed you will get a call or a SMS as soon as it star sounding (if configured). Hope this works :)

There will be a few reasons why your alarm may go off. Upon initial set up the system will test itself and check the battery, During this time you may hear the alarm. If everything checks out okay the alarm will stop and the battery will be on charging until needed. During regular operation you may hear the alarm because the system continues to do checks sporadically, about once a week. During a power outage the alarm will sound informing you that the system is on battery backup power. When the power returns the alarm will shut off. If the system finds any trouble such as the battery dying or the battery depleting itself during a power outage the alarm will go off more rapidly. If you receive a constant alarm that means that there is an issue with the battery, or you have overloaded the system with too many devices, which will not allow the unit to function on battery backup power. I hope you find this your question.

there is a brief reset period before the alarm will sound again - it seems like it's around 15 seconds or so.

You should definitely turn off the power before you hook this up. If this is hooked to your alarm panel its likely powered by the transformer in the alarm panel. What I did is called my alarm company, asked them to put my system in test mode and let them know that I was powering down the alarm panel. I turned off the breaker for the alarm panel, and then did the sensor swap....Powered the system back up and called the alarm company to put the system back into active. mode. Risky that you damage the new sensor if you try to hook it up with the power on...I don't recommend it.
